The Guidelines are specific and say "Post in English"

Anything that is shortened and would normally be used in a chat room or when texting is NOT English and if you use that language here in the discussions then don't complain when your earnings are disappointing.

In that guide lines only they have posted as every one welcome to my lot.We have users from all around the world and they are welcome regardless of their proficiency with the English language.
What i understood from that guidelines is,even if you are bad at English they wont do anything.but if you use shortcuts they gonna do something.am i correct?

MyLot tell us to post using the English language not text/chat language.
Shortened words are not English and do not show in search engines therefore they are not quality and will not earn.

The important thing in MyLot is to concentrate on quality. How MyLot decides what 'quality' is is, and always will be, a mystery. It is best not to worry about it. There is NO 'magic formula' like "write at least three sentences" or "post more than five lines". Just be as descriptive as possible, have something to say that is worth saying and relevant to the topic. Participate in and encourage DISCUSSION rather than just 'questions and answers'.
People don't mind too much about a certain amount of poor spelling or grammar but they are very often turned off by laziness and using the kind of contractions you use when texting is out of place here. There is NO limit on the number of characters, so it is unnecessary and inadvisable to shorten words.

Oh God, this was so educational. Its like your response is a balloon which is which is small but so much air compressed inside. yes, i have decided to use no shortened words any more on mylot. I think its gives out a sign of laziness which I am definitely not. I am going to be a good girl on mylot. Have a wonderful day ahead

I don't believe spelling matters... Its the quality of the comments and posts that matter.. Posting few words that don't give the discussion any feedback of inspirations will be deleted and you won't earn from that... Quantity as well as quality is key here. People want faadback rather than "MeToo!" you can put that and then add what you did too or how it effected you in some way....
I often misspell and use sms txt slang and still get paid for it.. Its the quality in my comments and posts that count...

Hey there riyauro,
I don't think so, i mean i also do get a lot of those and if that is the case then i guess we are going to have a problem since most of the writers here have those teenie tiny change in writing so i guess you shouldn't worry but better try to change your ways on that.
